Sanders Post-Nevada Text Message To Supporters Doesn't Mention South Carolina

The text to supporters sent on Saturday

HENDERSON, Nevada — The next contest in the Democratic primary takes place in South Carolina.

But moments after Bernie Sanders conceded the Nevada caucuses to Hillary Clinton here, his campaign blasted out a text message to supporters that seemed to leave South Carolina out.

"Wow! We helped Bernie narrow a 40-point gap to just a few points in Nevada," the text read. "Let's prepare for Super Tuesday. Reply GIVE to contribute $10 from your phone bill."

Super Tuesday is the shorthand for the 15 caucuses and primaries that take place on March 1.

Polls show Clinton has a significant lead in South Carolina, while there are some Super Tuesday states that better match the makeup of the states where Sanders has done best: Iowa, where he battled Clinton to a virtual tie, and New Hampshire, where he won in a 22-point landslide.
